The vision which Esaias son of Amos saw, which he saw against Judea and against Jerusalem, in the reign of Ozias and Joatham and Achaz and Ezekias, who reigned over Judea.
Your land is desolate, your cities burned with fire; as for your country, strangers devour it before you; and it has been made desolate, overthrown by foreign peoples.
What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says the Lord. I am full of whole burnt offerings of rams; and the fat of lambs, and the blood of bulls and of goats, I do not want.
You shall not continue; if you bring fine flour, it is vain; incense is an abomination to me. Your new moons and sabbaths and great day: I cannot endure fasting and idleness.
When you stretch out your hands to me, I will turn my eyes away from you; and though you multiply your supplication, I will not listen to you, for your hands are full of blood.
And come, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins be as crimson, I will make them white as snow; and though they be as scarlet, I will make them white as wool.
主說:你們來,我們彼此辯論。你們的罪雖像朱紅,我必使它白如雪;雖像深紅,我必使它白如羊毛。
1:19
καὶἐὰνθέλητεκαὶεἰσακούσητέμουτὰἀγαθὰτῆςγῆςφάγεσθε
And if you are willing and listen to me, you shall eat the good things of the land.
Your rulers are disobedient, companions of thieves, loving gifts, pursuing repayment; they do not give judgment for orphans, nor attend to the case of widows.
Therefore thus says the Master, the Lord Sabaoth: Woe to the mighty ones of Israel! For my wrath shall not cease against my adversaries, and I will execute judgment from my enemies.
And I will bring my hand upon you, and will refine you unto purity; and the disobedient I will destroy, and I will remove all the lawless from you, and I will humble all the proud.
And I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counsellors as at the beginning; and after that you shall be called a city of righteousness, the faithful mother-city Sion.
And their strength shall be as a stalk of tow, and their works as sparks of fire; and the lawless and the sinners shall be burned up together, and there shall be none to quench them.
